Description

Book Synopsis
Seeking honour and military adventure, noblemen and gentlemen from the British Isles served an apprenticeship in arms during the seventeenth century in all of the armies of mainland Europe, and acquired the military experience which the embryonic British army drew upon as Great Britain ascended to great power status at the beginning of the eighteenth century.

Trade Review
Roger Manning is one of those historians with an excellent eye for a subject ... Manning's study provides a fund of useful references and a good starting point. * Richard Cust, The English Historical Review *
